5"1-5"2 women !!

I'm 5'0" and 122 lbs (55kg). I really doubt you look chubby in ANY way, but if you feel unhappy with your body, my tip is going to be stop giving yourself excuses and exercise. If you're thin but feel untoned, you HAVE to work out. Good luck!

Anyone short feel free to add me. I eat a mostly low carb-ish diet and do not eat bread or pasta at all at this point, even though my diet used to be about 80% carbs.

I'm a shortie at 5'1" and still on my journey to be below 130lbs. I was happy when I was about 120lbs.

As for sweet cravings-try eating a piece of fruit that usually helps me, or drink a flavored tea with a little bit of honey or sugar. Sometimes I just have to have the sweet so I work my daily calories around it so I can enjoy.

It sounds like you just need to tone up to get where you want, that will only come with working out. Grab a friend and stay motivated/accountable that way-working out with someone else always makes it more fun.

Also for added workout motivation set up a Jar and create some mini goals. For each time you work out put a set amount of $$ into the jar. As you achieve your goals treat yourself (non food related) from the workout bank. I started it this year and its helped me get into the gym even if I didn't feel like going.

Biggest problem here is you body fat percentage, not your weight. Work on getting the BF down with a clean diet and lifting weights. Check out Ainsley Rodriguez, Michelle Lewin on IG.

im 4'11" and started weighing in at 198lbs. I've lost 10lbs already with intermittent fasting so my journey to weight loss may be different than yours since i''m trying to loose nearly 60-70lbs. but what is helping me along with IF is that my entire family is going on this journey with me and we are all making diet changes to cut carbs so i'm never tempted to reach for bread or anything else. Also I've noticed that drinking a cup of coffee and lots and lots of water makes me feel more full throughout the day

I'm 5'1" but a big busted, framed girl so I find my 'comfortable' weight is around 135. I am 146 now so I've got about 10 to go after losing 45 -started at 190 a few years back. I can't imagine getting below that #, never been that low in my adult life. I am more focused on being strong and healthy rather than skinny.

Do you have a very small frame? I do, and my goal at 5'4" is just about your current weight. I think it's hard for women who have more average size frames to understand that those of us with small frames can look best nearer the bottom of a healthy bmi range. I'm currently about 120 and still have 5-8 to lose, but I have a very small bone structure for my height (ring size 3.75, for example). Exercise will help, but depending on your frame size, you may just be more comfortable at a lower weight. BMI tables suggest 100-105 as lowest weight for someone of your height. If you don't have a tiny frame, that may not be an appropriate target for you, but I thought I'd point it out.

Just checked your page. 7 kg would put you in the underweight category. Please reconsider your goal.

I'm 5'2". I didn't read all the responses yet. I dance, do yoga, and strength train (strong curves). I eat a balanced nutritious diet and eat at least 85 grams of protein a day on most days (sometimes more). I don't do any special diet techniques. I calculate my daily calorie intake based on my activity level. I suppose I might be more active than I realize because I am usually eating the amount for an athlete that is my size.

I'm 5'2, 53kg, and lean. I do weight training 4-5 times a week, and eat about 1500 calories a day (currently cutting). I think you're at a healthy weight . However, if you're not happy with your look, then here are some tips I found very helpful when I was first starting out:

Caloric intake - don't use MFP guidelines, because they are way too low! Calculate your TDEE at IIFYM.com and use their recommended "fat loss" calorie and macro-nutrients intake as a guideline. Set this up in custom goals in MFP, and do NOT eat back exercise calories, because this plan already takes exercise into consideration.

"Toning" your arms and stomach - This is called spot reduction, and unfortunately, it's not actually possible. You may target one area of your body for muscle building (e.g. arms, abdomen), but fat loss can only occur allover. I would suggest doing full-body free weight workouts (compound exercises like squats burn way more calories, because they involve more, and bigger, muscle groups), and eating at a small caloric deficit. It's a daily grind, but if you keep at it you'll see results!

It was intimidating at first, but now I enjoy it so much, I just can't wait to go back to the gym! I wish you the best of luck on your fitness journey!
